Agreed, my SGS2 Epic Touch is 4.52 WITH SAP(Super Amoled Plus) and has a much bettery processor. This doesnt look like a bad phone but come on.

FAIL.

Seriously HTC? A screen this size and only WVGA?

Also, I'll bet they're still using the same BROKEN BlueZ bluetooth 3.0 stack that they use in all their new phones.

It looks good performance wise, but I agree. WVGA on a 4.7" inch screen is like putting hub caps on a Hummer H2. It just ain't right! If Pantech can do it, why not HTC?

Its crazy how Samsung is truly surpassing everything, if it hasnt already. The Gs2 is old in terms of release date, but still blows away the competition, maybe the nexus prime can compete.. oh wait thats Samsung too. Game!!!

Started with HTC Incredible, upgraded to the Droid Charge and then bought the Incredible 2 full retail because I missed the reliability of a HTC phone and the Charge had so many glitches (not to mention a brown and yellow TouchWiz theme) lol But I'm definitely looking out for the Nexus Prime.

thanx for that because GS2 users all ways all ways comment on HTC phone like tha GS2 wasn't tha frist time samsung had the title of best phone. samsung just now this year started making better phones then HTC... but getting off tha annoying GS2 fan boys, owning a sensation 4G i dont understand why is not 1280x720... that means this srceen is gona look much worse then tha evo 3D and the Sensation

Yes as much as I love my GS2, the screens and battery life are the only two factors that are convincing me to keep the phone. Other than that, I'm not a big fan of the overall Samsung experience. The phone is fast but I care more about user experience and right now fast isn't enough.I'm missing a lot of the built in HTC Sense features. If only HTCs had the Super Amoled Plus screens and better battery life or at least bigger battery I'd never leave HTC again
